Gooooaaaallll!

Christopher went to his first professional sporting event on Sunday. We saw the Kansas City Wizards take on Manchester United at Arrowhead Stadium (where the Chiefs play). Apparently Arrowhead Stadium was recently revamped, complete with Yankee Stadium parking prices ($25, seriously? did we forget what city we are in?). Anyway, the game was a bit hot to start but very fun and our seats were close too. When the game got a little slow, Chris and his friend Olivia were busy trading their toys. Little buds also enjoyed a hot pretzel, which you can see still coming out of his mouth in the picture below...

When we left the stadium, there was a company in the parking lot giving out free mini soccer balls so they threw one to us. Christopher could not have been happier! When we got home, he ran around the living room/kitchen kicking the ball everywhere he went.

Born to run

Just a quick story... We went to the gym on Friday--Grammy got a massage, Mommy went running on the track due to the 99 degree weather outside, and CJ went to play with the other kids in the playroom. When I picked him up, we still had a few minutes to wait for Grammy so we went over to the track, which no one else was on at that moment. Without any prompting, our little runner took off on track and didn't look back! He looked like a total natural!

Train ride!

We went to Toys R Us today to use a gift card that Christopher received for his birthday (one guess as to what he picked... I'll give you a hint: it goes "choo choo.") Anyway, as we were about to leave, there was a monsoon and we had to delay our departure. Fortunately, there was one of those mechanical trains that you feed a quarter to and it takes your kid for a ride. Chris thoroughly enjoyed himself!

Weekend pics

Here are the boys relaxing this evening on the couch... well, CJ relaxed for about 5 seconds--enough time for me to get this shot.
You also might notice that Christopher is wearing a shirt that says something about New Jersey. This was a birthday present from the D-L ladies (thank you!!!) and it says "Everything is better in New Jersey." At dinner tonight, I asked Chris, "Is everything better in New Jersey?" Of course his answer was "Yes!"

Something that Chris has been doing to pass the time recently, is walking on his hands and feet, but with his head on the floor. He is developing quite a talent, I must say!
Whenever Grammy is visiting, we are finally able to get multiple family shots so here is one of them:
And last night, Mommy and Daddy celebrated their fifth anniversary! We got decked out and went out on the town... at least until the sun went down. We actually had a lovely dinner at La Bodega in our old neighborhood followed by drinks at the Cashew overlooking downtown. Chris and Grammy spent lots of time playing while we went out. Notice how Kasey was making sure the coast is clear before we made our escape!

Diaper only please

What could possibly be better than running around like crazy in your diaper?

Here is a brief video of Chris when Daddy got home tonight. Earlier in the day, I told Chris that we could play on the bed when Daddy gets home. Brian was not in the door 2 seconds when little man started asking to go "on bed, on bed!"

Shout out

Some of you may know that the idea for the name of this blog came from my best friend from high school, Chrissie. (And of course, Christopher's Daddy's nickname was, at times, "Wogs.") Anyway, Christopher would like to inform the world that Chrissie has now provided him with a future playmate in the form of Bennett Chen Da Ching Pariso, born yesterday morning in Chicago. I believe he is destined to be king of something with that name! And no, Chrissie was not aware that CJ's cousin is named Bennett too. Bennett W. is just that cool!
